Posts Tagged ‘Protest’

So as this election year has been taking shape in the first month of the year, I have noticed one common thread throughout all discussions of the coming election. That idea is this:

WHEN WILL A QUALIFIED CANDIDATE EMERGE AS A LEGITIMATE CONTENDER FOR THE PRESIDENCY?

Well I dare to ask you a tougher question:

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A QUALIFIED CANDIDATE EXISTED?

Now this may seem like a strange question to ask for some of the older or younger voters in my audience but I truly mean the question in its most literal form. When was the last time anyone was truly excited about supporting either presidential candidate.

I feel as if we have been forced to choose between a TURD SANDWICH and a GIANT DOUCHE in every election for the last 25 years. (Sorry South Park, I borrowed your idea).

However I do not believe abstaining from the vote is the best way to protest having to choose between the lesser of two evils.

I say we organize an ELECTION PROTEST. Where everyone who doesn’t like either candidate goes out to vote, and even encourages others who feel the same way to come and vote. The trick is who they will be voting for. The protest will be recognized by using the write in candidacy space and choosing to vote for neither of the current runners for either major party. Instead write in the name of your favorite historical president. Or any other derogatory name of your choosing bashing the candidates or mocking the election processes.

Please feel free to leave suggested write in options below. I will officially support my favorite option a week before the election.

As youths in America we were all taught about how all actions have consequences. It is the fundamental basis for law and order in the country and applies to every aspect of daily life for 99% of the population. What they didn’t teach us was that it only applies to the 99% of the people in the country who don’t have ALL THE MONEY!

This movement is about holding the people who participated in the SIN of our country accountable. If they broke, are breaking, or intend to break, the law they should be in jail. I mean we arrest hundreds of thousands of people every year for stupid shit compared to fleecing America. However this does not just apply to those who broke the law. Corporations need to be held to the same moral standards that the citizens of the country they are located in are held to. No more misleading, no more aggressive persuasion, no more back room deals, no more private trials and out of court settlements, and NO MORE LOBBYING!!!

If a standard middle income citizen can’t do it, then a huge corporation shouldn’t be allowed to do it. This especially applies to CEO’s. If your company was a ship in the navy and went and destroyed a peaceful population of people, the captain of the ship would be tried for war crimes, even if his crew did it under his nose. Take control of your company. Institute a culture of morality, compassion, and accountability. Don’t hide behind the fact that you don’t know whats going on. IT’S YOUR JOB TO KNOW WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN YOUR COMPANY! And if you fail at this and the company does something wrong you should be held accountable.

Don’t get me wrong the buck doesn’t stop there. This goes out to all of the peons of the world. Following orders is not an excuse to commit immoral acts. Did none of you take business ethics? Just because your boss says its okay doesn’t mean it is. Do your part too. If you have been asked to do something that you believe is morally questionable or illegal, report it through the proper channels. If you think that it might get you into trouble at work, I will be more than happy to pass it on to your local news team as an anonymous report. If that doesn’t work QUIT! Don’t sacrifice your morals for a paycheck, and don’t try to rationalize why its okay either. DEEP DOWN INSIDE WE ALL KNOW WHEN WE ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

For our Baby Boomer parents this makes almost no sense, becuase they have not been held accountable for anything in their lives, which is not entirely their fault but is one of the root causes for the situation we are currently in. [Blame Your Parents For The Messed Up Government]. But the YOUTH of America, ITS FUTURE, are trying to make a difference. The winds of change are blowing off the north Atlantic and filling NYC with this movement. This is about why sharing the burdens of the country with everyone who is a citizen is wrong.
